hello my friends

Greetings my  friends how are all of you, so sorry has been sooo long since i blogged. life seems to just get away from me sometimes as i deal with  the  things in life that happen.    

  Sooooo   today i sit here   in pain more pain than normal as i had oral surgery  on monday and the dentist took  3 teeth, thats the bad part of my  injury and meds  they affect my  mouth making it sooo dry and  that affects my  teeth  so they had to go  sigh .

    Tomorrow is my sons and hubbys birthday and  since i am still healing    we have decided to have their birthday on thanksgiving. OH MY GOSH is it that time already?    NOt sure what we are  having but know will enjoy it alot(especially now after having to eat soft food for a week or more)

rip romo

today had some very sad news, our neighbors kitty   precious little romo was found dead  this morning.  
we had been very worried as he was not at morning feeding  for the last 2 days and  no one had seen him. 

he was a precious little cross eyed  bundle of love, he loved everyone and everyone loved little romo.  his mommy  found him  i believe have not had a chance to talk to her  but  from what my daughter said she told her that he looked normal , not  like he had been hit by a car or something. we may never know what killed him but i am worried about the other kitties both theirs and  ours.

RIP little romo   your with merwyn and riley,  boo boo and ickabod,   and snow  flake too.   watch over your   brothers little one and help us    find out what happened to you.  you are missed and l love you little one and  i will never forget you  sweetie     RIP

fair warning this is a angry post

fair warning  this is a angry post

so here is the my story,  a couple years ago  the state of washington decided they needed to stick their nose in the lives of people who suffer from chronic pain.  if you take more than a certain amount of the meds   (strength wise)  you need to see a pain specialist. so in april my doc sent me to a pain clinic where the docs there agreed that  the meds i take are safe for me and agreed for the doc to  give me.  

fast forward a couple months  my doc who had been giving me the meds  decided to quit his practice and go to work for the VA. so where does this leave me back to going to the pain clinic.  WHILE i don't  mind seeing the pain doc, i certainly did not expect the  responce i got from him.

went to see him on the  29th of  june and his  statement to me was so shocking that i am a mess still.

according to him   the meds i take are  "dangerous"  for me to continue, that they can "kill" me if i continue to take them at the dose i am taking. so he told me he is going to wean me off the meds and i will be magically  fixed with no more pain.  that  the meds  are whats causing my pain i am like what the hell is he talking about.  

 i have been off these meds before and they are NOT what are causing it so now i will be without any meds to deal with the pain, he wants to give me  anti depressants which supposidly are so wonderful(all they did was cause more problems  when i took them before.

 i had a severe reaction to the meds and i refuse to take any more of them) and he also wants to put me on  anti seizure meds(I DON'T HAVE SEIZURES)  which are suppose to help with nerve pain.i tried them they did not help and caused me to gain  20 pounds i refuse to take that crap too, so his last resort is   steroid  shots  again not doing it they dont last they dont work and are painful and expensive   where does that leave me    screwed  i am not a happy person  right now    wish me lots of luck cause i need it.

ah life lol

sorry it has been so long since i blogged. alot of issues going on in my life not all bad , not all  good but life it is.

been working on my jewelry end of the business lately and have been doing pretty good  selling a bit here and a bit there.

still trying to  get my craft room cleaned out, i wish i had the energy to just do it but i really don't want  any help with it  as i know the kind of help i get will be of the variety  get rid of  throw away sell whatever  just have it gone  idea and  i just can not do that.

i have  many ideas i want to do with my items and i know once hubby retires  we wont have any extra to buy anything and the time is coming faster than i know. i pray he lasts till the end of the year and not  go like in august as he is thinking.

kitties are doing well  that we have  not sure if i blogged about  ickabod or not but we lost him  in march. poor old guy was  so sick i think was his time.  he let me pick him up without freaking(never been able to do that before) and  when we took him in  my daughter and i were able to pet his little head, he was dying  would not have lasted the day so i gave him a humane way out. rip ickabod my poor little sad eye kitty  we love and miss you sooo very very much.

not alot to  post about  but do have  AWESOME NEWS.  My cousin  the one who had cancer is now cancer free and her  stem cell replacement is working wonders.  she is out of the hospital now and  in her own little apartment so i say yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa toni   thank the lord you are  where you are right now cousin and we love you so very much,

well best get off this puter and see what i can do about getting something done. blessings for all of you, may god keep you in his care and be with you always  love and blessings to everyone     vicki

can we say yummm

a important thing to know

many people  don't even think about  having cancer to them its something that happens to others  maybe a friend or a  friend of a friend, but what happens when that "friend" becomes someone you love, you feel helpless and  sad.

 but there is something you can do.  you can reach down in your pockets and donate  money to the cause that can save lives. having a cousin who right at this moment is battling cancer and having lost a  father in law who  found out to late that he had cancer, i know  how  sad one can be, but we can help we can raise money for the lymphoma and leukemia foundation. 

you ask how can i do that well here is a link which will take you to a friends site that has  a donation area set up. but before you donate check the site out, if you would rather donate directly that's awesome also it all goes to the same place, but here is the link in case you want to make a donation easier and its a legit  donation site i myself donated  so if u are uneasy just donate directly to the  foundation

thanks for reading and please think about donating  it is a tax deductible charity also.  
hugs and love   vicki

happy birthday mom

happy  birthday mom, you have been gone  quite awhile now and  things are  not good with your kids

.  for some reason  nance has decided to not even bother to talk to me  is going on 3 1/2 years now have no clue as to why this is  but it saddens me. i miss not talking to my little sister, i miss not seeing those precious kids  , and since she moved have no way of contacting her.

she sent a card at christmas with pics of the kids, that only made me sadder  no i miss you sissy no love sissy just a pic of the kids   like everyone else in the card list .

life right now mom is not good for me at all, i am sad,  stressed, in severe pain and getting pretty depressed.  

what i am asking you for mom is to  reach down from heaven and   make things better if you can.    

anyways mom  happy birthday and happy valentines day  love your daughter  vicki
